Has it been that long?

You will all probably be surprised to learn that in addition to being Veterans Day, November 11th marks an important anniversary. I joined the Army on November 11, 2003. It is hard to believe my life could change so much in two years. Today is also a milestone because I received my combat patch today marking more than 30 days in a combat zone. I probably wont sew it on my uniform, however, until I return. Superstition says that it would be bad luck to do so here.

I wont go into a retrospective of the past two years. Most of you are familiar with at least some of the highs and lows. I still have a lot of Army time ahead and am trying to look forward rather than back.

time

time slides faster as we get older
maybe due to reduced grey matter inside
as grey matter increases outside
the compression algorithim slices
time into pieces
so all of a sudden
we turn
and notice that the years have gone by
while we were busy trying
to plan our vacations
